The aim of this study was to investigate the use of ozone-based advanced oxidation processes for the oxidative destruction of COD in a petrochemical facility. Several AOP experiments were carried out in order to select and optimise the successful treatment option. A LABO3-AOP pilot unit was used where filtered wastewater (COD 1250 ppm) was circulated throughout the AOP reactor and ozone ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) composed of O3, H2O2 and ultraviolet (UV) were applied to degrade tetracycline (TC). Degradation efficiency was evaluated in terms of changes in absorbance (ABS) and total organic carbon (TOC). The change in biotoxicity was monitored with Escherichia coli and Vibrio fischeri. The improvement in ...

The degradation of chlorpyriphos by different advanced oxidation processes such as photo-Fenton, TiO2, TiO2/H2O2, O3 and O3/H2O2 was investigated. The photo-Fenton and TiO2 processes were optimized using a solar chamber as light source. The optimum dosages of the photo-Fenton treatment were: [H2O2]=0.01 M; [Fe3 + ]=10 mg l−1; initial pH = 3.5. With these optimum conditions total degradation was ...

The degradation of propoxycarbazone-sodium, an active component of commercial herbicide, in aqueous solution with ozone, UV photolysis and advanced oxidation processes: O3/UV, O3/UV/H2O2, H2O2/UV, and the Fenton process was studied. All these methods of degradation proved feasible. The kinetics of propoxycarbazone-sodium degradation in water followed the pseudo-first order equation for all ...

In this study, a combination process was developed in laboratory-scale including microwave demulsification, ozonation, and biological aerated filter (BAF) in series for the purpose of removing pollutants in oilfield wastewater with high microtoxicity. The microwave demulsification treatment removed 63.4% of oil. The ozonation treatment removed 79.3% of petroleum sulfonate, resulting in a ...

ESCO International; a company specialising in Advanced Oxidation Processes, Ozone and UV systems and with the primary objective of resolving water pollution issues on a global scale, worked on a semi-pilot scale project with an internationally well-known company in the chemical & polymers production industry, based in US. Organic compounds of concern include BI, MI, BPA, HEG and NPI ...

This study on removing non-degradable materials in wastewater focused primarily on advanced oxidation methods such as ozone, ozone/UV and ozone/H2O2. Wastewater treatment using an ionized gas from plasma has been actively progressing. The ionized gas involves reactive species such as O2+, O2− cluster, O radical and OH radical. Since the ionized gas method has such outstanding characteristics as ...

The entry of pharmaceuticals into the water cycle from sewage treatment plants is of growing concern because environmental effects are evident at trace levels. Ozonation, UV- and UV/H2O2-treatment were tested as an additional step in waste water treatment because they have been proven to be effective in eliminating aqueous organic contaminants. The pharmaceuticals carbamazepine, ...

A chemical manufacturing plant needed to remove cobalt from biologically treated wastewater. The current cobalt concentration is higher than 1000 ppb and needs to be reduced to below 5 ppb. Cobalt speciation analysis results have shown that much of the cobalt is present as organically bound complexes. These complexes are known to be difficult to remove by adsorption, precipitation ...

This research aims to apply Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) using ozonation, combined O3/H2O2 and Fenton reaction for simultaneous COD and colour removal from old-landfill leachate. The efficiencies of the AOPs for both COD and colour removal could be ranked in this order; Fenton reaction > O3/H2O2 > O3. The Fenton reaction, operated at pH 3 could significantly remove more than 85% of colour ...

ABSTRACT Increasing demand for reclaimed water from wastewater treatment facilities has revolutionized the need for awareness of effluent quality and its properties. Wastewater can be made suitable for many reuse applications. Many of these applications for reclaimed water in industry, agriculture, and other beneficial uses have required stricter controls on the effluent quality from ...

MEMBRANE AND APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT 1.0 INTRODUCTION The ability of ozone to effectively treat wastewater is dependent on the nature of contaminant in question. For example, ozone will readily remove color from a dye solution, but has much more difficulty reducing the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of a sucrose stream. These differences in ozone effectiveness are ...

Water and wastewater effluents contain a vast range of pharmaceutical chemicals. The present study aims to determine the potential of the advanced oxidation technology UV/H2O2/O3 and its sub-processes (i.e. UV, UV/H2O2, UV/O3, O3 and H2O2/O3) for the degradation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and trimethoprim (TMP), and the antineoplastic drug cyclophosphamide (CPD) from water. Creating ...

Municipal sewage and WWTP effluents are considered to be a major source of pollution, regarding the occurrence of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the environment. Although removal potential of many EDCs by conventional WWTPs is recognised, literature data are not easily comparable. Besides, in order to reach very low concentrations, a further treatment might be sometimes required. ...

The City of Phoenix is investigating the use of various disinfection technologies for its 91st Avenue wastewater treatment facility. Key to this investigation is the implementation of a UV system to meet State of Arizona, Class A+ disinfection requirements. During this evaluation, the range of alternatives was expanded to include ozonation and other advanced oxidation processes (AOP), to examine ...

Ozone (O3) has been used successfully in advanced wastewater treatment in paper mills, other sectors and municipalities. To solve the water problems of regions lacking fresh water, wastewater treated by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can substitute fresh water in highly water-consuming industries. Results of this study have shown that paper strength properties are not impaired and whiteness ...

The system ozone and hydrogen peroxide was used to reclaim wastewater from the secondary clarifier from a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid-Spain). The assays were performed by bubbling a gas mixture of oxygen and ozone, with ~24 g Nm-3 of ozone concentration, through a volume of wastewater samples for 20 minutes at 25°C . The removal of dissolved ...

BioLargo, Inc. (OTC: BLGO) held its third annual “AOS technical symposium” last month, hosting a group of scientists, collaborators, water industry experts, and government representatives, according to a recent post on the company blog. Prior AOS symposiums have updated stakeholders on the company’s progress with their innovative technologies for high performance, low cost, ...

One of the two main objectives of this work is to oxidize MBR effluents with ozone/peroxide in high pH conditions in order to improve oxidation of pharmaceuticals, which could efficiently be rejected by the nanofiltration (NF) stage. The other main objective is to effectively oxidize of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in MBR effluents in order to decrease fouling in the filtration stage. In this ...
